The fig tree cutting that Garden Girl sent me arrived this morning! It is a beautiful cutting about 1 foot tall with a small root ball that was still nice and moist. It has three small but well developed newly green branches each with some beautiful leaves. The leaves looked great. I never expected such a nicely developped cutting! You should have seen the "WOW SMILE" on my face when I saw it.
It was planted in about 15 min. after receving it. I wanted to get it planted before the rains get here this afternoon!
She also sent me the April 2008 issue of the paper, "Newport Voice", where her monthly gardening colum "In The Garden" appears.
Thank you very much Garden Girl. And Gabz thank you for taking the time to do this Weekly Gardening thread.
Glad you got it! After I mailed it, I thought—you idiot! You’re not supposed to send plant material through the mail! Had a few nightmare visions of the DEA showing up on my doorstep, drug sniffing dogs in tow!
That’s one of the cuttings we took in Jan. Amazing how fast they take off!
Tell Cashmere—This is not your toy! :)
Laughing about the paper—any time we get parts at the store, I can’t stand it—not to read the newspapers they’re padded with, even if they’re old ones! LOL
